South Africa spearhead Dale Steyn says he would "love" to play in a day-night Test match before his stellar career is over.

Cricket Australia today announced the men's 2016-17 international schedule which sees South Africa play three Commonwealth Bank Tests against Australia in November, with the final match in Adelaide intended to be a day-night Test.

However, South Africa have baulked at the pink ball after heavy resistance from some players. But Steyn was confident “one, maybe two first-class games” with the pink ball would be more than enough preparation for a day-night Test match.

Last year's inaugural twilight Test at the Adelaide Oval was an unqualified success, pulling in records crowds, huge television viewership and delivering the most pulsating Test of the summer.

Now Steyn, a self-confessed sufferer of FOMO – the fear of missing out – wants a taste of the action.

"I don't want to go through my whole career without playing a day-night game," Steyn told cricket.com.au exclusively in Rajkot.

"How cool are they? I thought it looked awesome when New Zealand and Australia played one.

"It looked entertaining, there was a big crowd.

"The ball is pink – it's something different. You want to test your skills with that whole thing and it's very exciting."

However, Cricket South Africa have yet to agree to a day-night Test and the South African Players’ Association have expressed concern over the "disadvantage" their players might face having never played against a pink ball under floodlights at any level.

Steyn said those concerns stemmed from the prospect of the day-night Test series being deadlocked.

"The difficult part of it comes in if it's one-all and we go into a decider and we play a Test match we've never really played before, we've never used the pink ball before," Steyn said.

"That could be a little bit of an issue for the guys.

"Australia, having played one before and having played a few first-class games, would have the upper hand on us in that sense.

"We're not moaning about it, it would just not be a level playing field."

But Steyn said all his teammates would need was a crash course against the pink ball under lights like the Black Caps had before treading into unknown waters last year.
